Pride and Glory
Pride and Glory (2008)
9/10
very solid has a much deeper undertone than most will understand

For some reason this movie got average if not OK reviews. I was unconvinced that it was bad because often what ed Norton touches turns into gold. It has a significantly deeper undertone than what lets off on the surface. In other words, yes you don't see a lot of action but you see a significant amount of dialog, a large amount of character development and the ability to follow each of their stories.

The plot albeit simple is well polished enough to want you to keep watching in hopes of finding out what comes next. In final, this movie speaks of troubles that us as a society, as a group, as a race have to go through in order to find solace and serenity.

Prison Break: The Final Break
Prison Break: The Final Break (2009 Video)
10/10
Brilliant

To be honest, I was thinking this was going to be a "ploy to get money" but ironically this wasn't the case. This is quite possibly the most beautifully written 90 minute made for TV ending for a show I've ever seen. In fact, it was so reminiscent of the first season that I think they really took the time to thoroughly review all their options and wrap up the show appropriately.

Not to say too much about the actual show but the way they integrated much of the original cast is ingenious and so mind blowing that I was simply astonished how some episodes "arguably" wasn't fantastic and then there is this finale that really stood out.

It's so much to capture in 2 hours that I was sad to see it end. In spite of being angry of watching the show's ending last week, I have to say in " The final Break" they did a remarkable job of gently walking us through the path and not giving us a sudden blow while proving to the audience that it was truly worth waiting for this.

10/10 RIP Prison Break

Death Race
Death Race (2008)
8/10
Pretty fun ride, with lots of action and somewhat interesting deception
26 August 2008
I'll cut right to the point. Death Race, seems similar to the game twisted metal on Playstation. Yes the characters also use weapons, and cars that the every day consumer tends to drive. Nothing really ground breaking in what I've said so far. This movie doesn't attempt to have any crowd rising epiphanies or such a twisted plot that it doesn't seem to capture us. Although, some of the speeches made by Joan Allen's character are questionable considering she is addressing convicts. Nevertheless, the movie is designed to be a source of car action entertainment.

It is similar to the movie Shoot Em Up with Clive Owen. Purely unrealistic entertainment and that my friends is the beauty of this movie. It's nice to be able to sit in a theater and have a few chuckles, watch some mind boggling car chases/crashes and have a sense of where the story is going.

I went into the movie with little to no expectations of how "good" the movie would be but purely as a source of entertainment, and fascination of "car functioning." If you get a chance to go see it with a group of friends definitely do it! It's not a movie you want to watch alone.
